basically, you want to look around for suspension componenets for the FB. victoria british sells some things, Racing beat etc. drifting requires skill. if you have a LSD, tires, a working ebrake you should be good. mind you that a NA rotary lacks torque so its harder to keep the slide going.

I hate to sound like a jaded bastard, but drift parts is the same as getting performance parts, no?

A solid suspension, a good differential, and slightly more power can get you drifting in no time on the SA / FB, in my opinion. Tail happy (yet, it kinda jumps around instead) is already a trait for this car.

My opinion, try the basics: Mazdatrix, etc. Even the miscellaneous "no cost" modifications on this site will be fun and helpful, such as hard mounts, low cost homemade/FC modified strut bars, reinforcements, etc.

All in all, the car kicks *** and has so much potential for a good drift project. I hope to turn it into a serious competitor one day (not necessarily just for drift).

Ground control U Weld coilovers and rear Eibach springs, Koni shocks and struts are a good start to lower the car and control your rearend.
